Meets
Swim meets take place on Wednesday evenings and generally run from 5:30 until 8:30/9pm. Home meets are followed by pool parties, which end at 10pm.
Meet locations rotate throughout the season and are hosted by fellow Southland Swim Association (SSA) teams. Each year, Loch Lloyd hosts 2-3 of the 5 regular season meets. Swimmers must participate in 2 meets to be eligible to swim in the annual SSA Swim Championship meet.
Swimmers will warm-up prior to the start of each meet. Home meet warm-ups begin at 4:45pm, and away meet warm-ups begin at 5:00pm. All swimmers are required to arrive at warm-ups 15 minutes early to check-in with coaches and must sit with their team in a designated location at all competitions. Each swimmer may be entered in no more than 3 individual events and 2 relay events. Coaches will determine how many/which events your child(ren) will swim at each meet.
ALL competitive swimmers MUST declare before each meet. If a swimmer fails to declare before a meet, s/he will not be entered into any events. Unless in an emergency (per Coach discretion), if a swimmer does not attend a meet in which s/he is scheduled, that swimmer will not be allowed to swim in the following meet and may become ineligible for CHAMPS.
If a meet is canceled due to weather, notifications will be made by 4:30pm on the day of the meet. Meets are automatically rescheduled for the next day (Thursday) at the same place and time and with the same volunteer responsibilities.
